David Kellermann, the acting chief financial officer of US mortgage giant Freddie Mac, was found dead at his home in the morning today, in what radio reports called an apparent suicide.

A local radio reported the death of David Kellermann. But the Fairfax County police did not confirm it was a suicide. 

The death of Kellermann,  41, who had been Freddie Mac's chief financial officer since September 2008, is another blow to the now government-controlled mortgage giant.

David Moffett, CEO of Freddie Mac, which has government guarantees for about 13 million home loans, had resigned last month.

McLean, Virginia-based Freddie Mac and its sister firm Fannie Mae  have  received about $60 billion in combined federal aid. They together also own or back more than half of US home mortgages. 

Kellermann was named acting chief financial officer in September 2008, after the resignation of Anthony ''Buddy'' Piszel, who stepped down after the September 2008 government takeover.
